The 1971 FA Charity Shield was a football match between Leicester City and Liverpool at Filbert Street on Saturday 7 August 1971. [1]
Arsenal won the double in 1970–71 but were unable to take part in the Charity Shield because they had contracted to go on a pre-season tour that clashed with the fixture. [2] The 1971 FA Cup Final runners-up Liverpool and second division winners Leicester City were invited to take part instead. [3]
Leicester won the game with a goal from Steve Whitworth, when he tapped the ball in at the near post after initially crossing the ball into the box. [4]
